Why “Antihousewife”?

I have a hectic life.

I work one paying, full-time job, take on extra hours with additional work that equals another part time job AND spend time at my hubby’s business. This means that I work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 7:30am to 4:30pm (on the days I leave on time, that is. Which actually isn’t most of them). On Saturday I spend most of the day at the business. I am working on my Master’s degree, so every Monday night I go to classes from 5 to 8, and I work on my internship the other days of the week. Really, the only days I have to do anything at home are Fridays after work and Sunday. It’s really not much time to keep up a household.

Even with all this, I try to keep myself healthy… which we all know is nearly impossible in today’s society. I have finally weeded though all the crap to find what really works for me, but social pressure and convenience have prevented me from sticking to my guns more than once. One of the excuses I use the most often is that I don’t have time; I really don’t have much to spare. But as I work at this, I’ve come to realize that it’s really not true. I have enough to time live the right life, so I need to do it. And as I learn the way to manage my household while being the Antihousewife, I’m going to pass those lessons on to you.

So now, you have no reason to keep using the time excuse as I did. You also can’t say “well, I don’t know how to do ABC, so I’ll just have to keep doing XYZ” any more because I’ll be showing you the way. If there’s something you need, pop in the comments and ask. I’ll be happy to add what wisdom I have, or figure it out with you if I’m ignorant.

I read a post from a friend on Facebook that really hit me. It’s perfect to describe my life:

“They say God only gives you what you can handle. Apparently, God thinks I’m a bad-ass.”

Since I was a stay at home mom and housewife, I was curious about the story behind it. Very clever! I cant wait to try the Anti Housewife Alfredo sauce! Thanks Much, Heather PS- I found you through Pinterest when I was looking for a lo-carb chicken and mushroom casserole someone shared on FB. I can’t find it so when I found your A-HW Alfredo and Chicken bake recipe, I was like YESSS!
